  3. Turning to Scripture 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24 but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land, for the wind was against them. 25 And early in the morning he came walking towards them on the lake. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’ And they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.’ 28 Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.’ 29 He said, ‘Come.’ So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came towards Jesus. 30 But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’ 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘You of little faith, why did you doubt?’ 32 When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’ St Matthew Chapter 14

  5. Societal Context • Mind the Gap: our societal context has changed • Bridge the Gap: our mission context has changed • Close the Gap: our church needs to change

  6. Our Response: Diocesan Context • Vision: Living the mission of Jesus • 3 Dimensions: passionate personal spirituality, pioneering faith communities, prophetic global citizens • 4 Strategic Priorities: growing authentic disciples, re-imagining the church, transforming society, living together sacrificially

  7. The Challenge How can we deliver a mission-shaped diocese attuned, agile and ready to serve to live the mission of Jesus in our changed context? Our focus is on one strand… expressing the 4 SPs through Deanery Mission Action Plans (dMAPs)

  8. Notice… • The key role of the Deanery and Mission Pastoral Committee • The key event of the Deanery Consultation • The key resources to be made available • The key actions to be completed

  10. 1. What is a Mission Action Plan? A MAP is a living document which draws together a plan to develop an Archdeaconry, Deanery Benefice or Chaplaincy in its missional activity. ”…a document which outlines the missional activities that a church is going to do in the coming months or years. It is built on a clear sense of God’s vision for the church – what God is calling the church to be and do “ (Chew and Ireland, How to do Mission Action Planning, SPCK, London:2009).
